    Honestly, I now fully understand why Tim is likely to be sold.

    Should have been prevented long before that. Why not close the space?

    Spot - on. Losing Tielimans so early was a big blow. We certainly lost some momentum from that and then to come out for the 2nd half without Emi, you just knew it was going to be a struggle. I'm still trying to work out why Tim didn't close down and prevent that 2nd goal.

    Connor Gallagher with his shit 90s hairstyle.

    Ollie, when we needed it most.

    Chelsea proviing convincingly that possession for possession sake means nothing in this game. Aside from the header that shaved the post, they have flattered to deceive.

    Thought I would have a bit of Breaking Bad for my pre - match entertainment. Hank, "You ever smoke anything else, Wendy, sausages don't count?" The little laugh by Hank until he realises he's supposed to be moralizing Walt Jr. Without doubt, up there with the very best.

    The ones where you had to get the ball in numbered holes. There were certain cafes that would pay you out if you managed to clock up so many games. The number 16 was the hardest number to land in because of it's position. If you got five numbers in a line you hit the jackpot. All them cafes, in the 70s, had them.

    My favourite as a kid was "Bedders" on Coventry Rd, Bandit Country. My Nan took me as a kid. That was run by three generations of the same family for years. Only opened weekdays 11.30 till 2.00 pm and Friday night 5.30 till 7.30 (Catholic population, apparently). I kind of liked that tradition, and it still adhered too, but the family sold it a few years ago and it just doesn't have that same feel, sadly. The fish and chips with mushy peas was delicious and they would do these diced onions pickled in vinegar, which, for some reason didn't taste like your usual pickled onions, much better tbf. It certainly had a decent reputation back in the day, but so did a lot of other things. What I would give to be able to play the old pinball machines where, in some cafes, you could get money for clocking up so many games. The trick was to get the number "16" with your first ball. Don't know how I got on to that subject.

    It was always chips when I was a kid. And nine times out of ten they were always run by Greek Cypriots. I used to go to a cafe opposite Stechford Baths, still remember the guy's name, Carlos. I can still hear him shouting as he gave us our bags of chips, "Salt and vinegar only! No sauce!" And Boy, did he mean it. It was a proper head doer really, because, who doesn't want tomato sauce on their chips? Tight Bastard.

    Just the memory gives me greasy fingers.

    The civilised way would be to unwrap them methodically, but such was the hunger and impulsiveness, just tear off the end. Especially if you had been swimming, remember how hungry you were after swimming? Etiquette went out the window.

    Always the option when you couldn't afford chips. Another thing I hated was opening your chips by ripping one of the ends of the wrapping off. Dirty hands and smudge chips. Oh! To be young again.

    Remember fish and chip shops when you were a bin - lid, and that thing they used sell and call "Scallop," but in fact, was nothing more than a big flat round battered chip?

    Here, Here!!

    I think the Billam - Smith v Riakphore will be a juicy encounter, especially with the latter getting the decision the last time they met. Although, I think BS has improved immensely since that loss, so I would just give him the edge but like I said, it's one definitely to look forward to.

    I admire your faith and belief, anything is possible, right! And imagine, Brother, that sweet satisfaction should that happen. So much so, that I would bathe in its residue, if that's ok with you.

    Need to administer some payback for that FA Cup trouncing. That should be motivation enough. As long as we're are focused from the off, I really don't see us having a problem. Come on me Babbys!

    Even as a youngster playing in the YC and FA Cup he had a quiet assurance about his game. I'm sure being around a confident character like Emi would definitely have some knock - on effect.

    I was just reading the comments made by the Exeter manager, Caldwell. Really extolling the virtues of Sinisalo, so refreshing to hear and certainly augurs well for his and our times ahead.

    Shogun, re - binge time already.

    There's been some fantastic Dutch centre - half's ever since the great Holland sides from the 70's. I wouldn't consider his inclusion a foregone conclusion.

    I was being flippant. However, I have received a yellow card, believe it or not, for just posting in the wrong thread.
  24. sheepyvillian
    Wrong thread, I believe.

    Watching Himalaya with Michael Palin. The episode where he meets the Mosuo people of China, he does come across as a slightly dirty old man, albeit, in a jocular kind of way.
